I might have missed it, did the police actually seize the car?

When something similar happened to my son the car was seized
under s165A RTA1988.
A letter arrived in the post to the RK with details on how to
recover the vehicle.
He also panicked, sped away from the Police, parked his car in a
side road and ran. The Police found it and towed it.
However, they did come knocking and had video footage of him
driving so couldn't really deny anything. After a stiff talking
to he was offered an awareness course (£95) in lieu of careless
driving prosecution. (And had to pay to recover his vehicle -
around £150)

It was seized, but I got a call 7 days after the seizure telling
me they're done with 'forensics' and they're going to arrange
for me to get it back (still dealing with this). What would
'forensics' usually entail under these circumstances? Do you
think they bothered getting a locksmith to search inside the
car? (and do all that in 7 days?)
Or is it perhaps a scare tactic to give information?
Apart from the chase the car was never involved in any criminal
activity I'm surprised they're even checking it.

Clearly the police should have been able to satisfy themselves
that despite the driver doing a runner, the car was never
involved in any criminal activities without wasting their time
checking it for any evidence of criminal activities that might
cause the driver to decide that doing a runner was in his best
interests. Clearly they just can't get the staff these days.

But why on earth do a runner in the first place? That sort of
thing is never going to end well. Was the car registered to you?
Taxed? Insured? Do you have a valid licence?

I think you’re expecting a bit too much critical thinking from
someone who did a runner from the police.

Given the op is very concerned about whether they searched the
car I can only imagine there was something in the car he didn’t
want the police to find, which he left in the car when he fled
the scene. Presumably he didn’t want to be caught with it on
his possession either which is why he left it.

you locked it before doing a runner? didn't leave the keys?
not difficult to work out who would fo that is it.
